Butler is suspected of robbing the Akron Market convenience store at 3890 Glenn Ave. around 11:45 p.m. Jan. 20 as well as around 9:30 p.m. on Monday.

The clerk told Winston-Salem police the robber in Monday's incident looked the same as the previous incident. Butler was arrested near Akron Drive and Ogburn Avenue after a K-9 track was run, police said.

Butler is being held under a $50,000 secured bond in the Forsyth County Detention Center.

A second suspect helped in the first robbery, in which pistols were displayed, police said. Police are still looking for that suspect.

Anyone with information about a second suspect is asked to call Winston-Salem police at (336)773-7700 or CrimeStoppers at (336)727-2800.
